Chief Information Officer Exchange | Invite-Only CIO Event

Excelling Through the Age of Acceleration, Agility & AI

The pressure is on, and 2026 is not just another year, it is a turning point. The EU AI Act is rewriting the rules of innovation, demanding compliance with sweeping new standards that could cost millions. Meanwhile, boards are demanding faster delivery, leaner operations and smarter service without raising or allocating any additional budgets. Leaders have to be equipped with the skills and tools to not get lost in an increasingly complex ecosystem, but lead through it.

From tech enabler to value generator, CIOs are now the architects of enterprise strategy, the guardians of digital trust and the drivers of responsible AI-powered transformations. They have to tackle cyber threats, talent shortages, NetZero targets and unpredictable AI ROI, all whilst optimising infrastructures and futureproofing organisations, and there is rarely a moment to breathe and take a step back to review the strategy set out to build the future-ready enterprise. This is where the Exchange comes in.

Join the leaders who are rewriting the IT playbook to balance speed with security, innovation with governance, and transformation with trust, to lead with confidence into an unknown, disruptive future.

2026 Key Event Themes

The name of the game is SPEED

Accelerate business value by automating more and cutting waste, while ensuring your people keep pace with advancing processes and technologies.

Delivering a long-term strategy in a quick-win world:

From the EU AI Act to NetZero to quantum computing, leaders must future-proof strategies without losing sight of near-term wins.

FOMO or FOMU?

As AI advances, leaders must balance the fear of missing out with the fear of messing up, setting non-negotiables for skills, empathy, and adoption.

Rethinking Security with shifting global threats:

With new cyber risks emerging daily, leaders must strengthen defences and foster a culture of awareness and resilience.

Here's what attendees of the Exchange had to say

"I really like the size of it, it means that you can have meaningful conversations as the group discussion sessions are all manageable. The content is always ‘of the moment’ and I always take away good insights to bring back to my team."

“A well-run intimate event that brings together the most senior transformation leaders to discuss common challenges and practical ways to address them. Definitely an event to mark on your calendar year after year”

“The Exchange transcended typical networking events. Within just a few hours, I found myself exchanging battle-tested transformation strategies with peers who truly understood the weight of enterprise-wide change”

“Expanding our network and being able to call on one another - even after the event is in our rearview mirror is a fantastic opportunity.”

“The most useful 48 hours I’ll probably spend on my professional development this year. Having the opportunity to step away from the day-to-day and discuss key issues with my peers is invaluable.”
